I have recently purchased 27 horses

all but a few were not taken very good care of. i have given all of them shots and wormed them and had there hooves trimmed and they have all gained wieght and are looking really good. my question is if they are just going to be at pasture do they need to have shoes put on them ? i figure wild horses dont have shoes but i thought id ask people that know.

Wow! People on answers can be quite rude, can't they? You guys, this person obviously bought these horses because she loves horses and do you really think she would buy that many without thinking? And come on, she obviously has the resources! You guys, this is getting old! Like when a parent may ask about what type of pony to get for their daughter on petqna.com , some people will say things like, "Get a shetland (or whatever breed), as long as your daughter has a helmet and is under supervision!" Well of course the parent would do this! I'm just using this as an example but some people can be quite rude and say obvious things like know-it-alls. It's getting old! Some of you guys just totally think a lot of people asking these questions are morons! This person probably has great facilites and is taking great care. Doesn't it say that she just gave them all shots, wormed them and put some weight on their poor bones? She obviously, like many other askers, knows what she is doing! So stop doing this! Okay, so maybe this is a bit mean sounding but it is true. Let's make this a better community! Thanks.
